Waterloo Bridge, London. Two strangers collide. Attila, a Ghanaian psychiatrist, and Jean, an American studying the habits of urban foxes. From this chance encounter in the midst of the rush of a great city, numerous moments of connections span out and interweave, bringing disparate lives together. Attila has arrived in London with two tasks: to deliver a keynote speech on trauma and to check up on the daughter of friends, his 'niece', Ama, who hasn't called home in a while. It soon emerges that she has been swept up in an immigration crackdown - and now her young son Tano is missing. When, by chance, Attila bumps into Jean again, she joins him in his search for Tano, mobilizing into action the network she has built up, mainly from the many West African immigrants working London's myriad streets, of volunteer fox-spotters: security guards, hotel doormen, traffic wardens. All unite to help and as the search continues, a deepening friendship between Attila and Jean unfolds.©2018 Aminatta Forna (P)2018 Recorded Books, Inc Belletristik

This book hooked me in. I loved the atmosphere, the story, how the author presented the protagonists and how she let them go in the end. I enjoyed the film-like detailed descriptive parts too. Sometimes the flashbacks were difficult to follow, but this might be because I was multitasking while listening. Overall, this is one of the best books I have ever listened to.
